Improving life on Earth

Our journeys into space have a crucial impact on life on the ground – space helps us improve weather forecasting, communicate more easily, and find our way using pinpoint satellite navigation data. These different space applications combine into a whole range of tools that help our activities on the ground – from precision farming, to tracking our own exercise routines. In the near future, data from space will help self-driving cars and smart cities to make our lives easier and more energy efficient.
